About the DS3800DMEB1A1A
The GE Gas Turbine Control Board DS3800DMEB1A1A is designed for quick installation in the drive. The board features a modular connector on 1 end and retention levers on the other end. The GE Gas Turbine Control Board DS3800DMEB1A1A also is populated with 15 capacitors and 2 trimmer resistors. The board is populated with 2 potentiometers with dial settings and 6 indicator LEDs. It also is populated with test points.
The GE Gas Turbine Control Board DS3800DMEB1A1A is poplulated with a 20-pin connector. The connector is located on a plastic surface held in place with standoffs. The standoffs keep the surface from touching the board and it provides a secure location for the 20-pin connector, capacitors, and indicator LEDs. A ribbon cable can attach to the connector. The ribbon cable terminates with a connector that plugs into the connector on the GE Gas Turbine Control Board DS3800DMEB1A1A. The other end terminates on another board or device in the drive.
The ribbon cable carries control signals that are received by the board for processing. Other signals are sent to other boards after processing. The signals can be blocked if the fine wires in the ribbon cable are broken. Use care when you handle the connector that terminates the ribbon cable. Do not pull it or put stress on it that would cause the wires to pull out of the connector.
When you remove the ribbon cable, grasp the connector and pull it out of the connector on the board. This protects the ribbon cable signal wires from breakage.
